- Congratulations to 18 year old Derek Hopkins for winning Gloucester's 2019 Greasy Pole Friday, Saturday, and Sunday competitions!
Derek is only the second walker to win the Friday, Saturday, Sunday trifecta, after Jake Wood (1999).
Derek's Dad, Rich Hopkins captured the flag in 1996 and 1997. Derek and his Dad are only the fourth father-son duo to win the flag.
Note about the music - Eh, Cumpari! or Hey, Goombadi! is a Sicilian song we hear playing often during Fiesta. Sung by Julius La Rosa and released in 1953, it is a cumulative song, in which each verse contains all the previous verses.
